taxpayer money may be missing in afghanistan. our pentagon correspondent chris lawrence is here with the details. chris, how is this possible? >> reporter: because of a complete failure of oversight on the parts of the departments of treasury, state and defense, just a complete corruption in afghanistan. look, this federal audit shows that ten years into this war, the u.s. still only has limited visibility over what happens to billions of dollars once we send the money to afghanistan. the inspector general says that makes the money vulnerable not only to fraud but even worse being diverted to insurgents. the u.s. spent more than $70 billion on security and redevelopment in afghanistan, but, again, this audit shows as much as $10 million may be smuggled out of afghanistan every day. how does that happen? whenever afghan government officials leave the country no one checks how much money they are carrying with them. again the audit shows afghan officials have no plans to scan their cash through those electronic currency counters. t
